Cool tools you have or have gotten as gifts?

I would pass on the crapsman cordless stuff.

Im not a fan either. If Im buying cordless...Im buying Ridgid. They are about the same price...when on sale cheaper. They come with lifetime tool and battery warranty.

Heard bad things about it?

Yep, those drills I say I go through so much are craftsman. Im sure battery technology may be the problem but either way they suck!

Damn, then Makita or Ryobi it is.

The only drill I have is a 9.6v Makita.

yea, it doesn't do shit.

Couple of new things. I bought a cordless hammer from Sears that is great for installing baseboards where there's no room to swing a conventional hammer. And my wife bought me a nice set of rachet hand wrenches.

Mine was the black handled "Professional" series.

I also love my 1/2" battery impact.

The cheapest, coolest tool I've received(and since have given out a few myself) is the magnetic fingertip.

Damn, that magnetic fingertip looks handy as hell!

Yeah, I just googled and picked the first image to attach. Those are too stubby for most people, but really, almost everyone at one point gets Craftsmen screwdrivers for Xmas!

The army gave me an 18V Snap On impact. Thing is AMAZING.

It may sound simple to you guys, but that Dremel Multi-tool is awesome...

I bought a Milwaukee 18V drill/impact combo last year. I had never used the impact so when I read this thread, I decided to try it out. It has an opening for a standard bit holder (rather than a 3/8 or 1/2" drive) so I put a bit with a 1/4" drive on it and it took out the seat bolts on a 2000 Mustang with a quickness! I think it will see more use.

The most unique tool I have aquired (inherited) is a Time-Rite magneto timing tool for a Pratt & Whitney R4360 "Corncob" radial engine (B36 bomber). I love old radial engines.

I purchased a Rockwel SonicCrafter a few months ago and that multi tool is one of the most usefull tools I have for carpentry. Tried it out on some body panels and it has a use there as well. Great gift for the home handyman.

I had a makita 3/8 cordless that I used the crap out of when I work at the stealership, and sold when I left. I may go get another pretty soon.

I had several 9.6v Makita drills. Worked great on interior trim work.

Ok, that was not meant that way. Been redoing my front entry. Adding crown mold, new tile, base boards......it works great for all kinds of stuff.....

It would probably be detrimental to a vag......just sayin'
